I’m an Amazon Affiliate and only recommend products that I personally own (or wish I owned) and think my readers will love as well! This post contains some links that will take you to these products on Amazon where we receive a small referral fee. We greatly appreciate your support!

Over the past few days I’ve shared how we do birdwatching at our home and how other families encourage birding in their homes. I thought it might also be helpful to share what resources we have in the bird corner in our playroom that we use frequently.

Bird Log Kids

by Deanna Brandt


Whenever we identify a new bird, we always record it in our bird journals. Lucy has this bird journal for kids. We record the information together, and she draws a picture of the bird.

This is what I use to record my bird sightings. Of course, you could just use a regular notebook! 

The Young Birder’s Guide to Birds of North America (Peterson Field Guides)

by Bill Thompson III

This is Lucy’s official bird book. I love helping her locate birds we’ve found in it. It’s a great way to practice using nonfiction resources!

And this is my official bird book I use to identify birds we spot.

Beginning Birdwatcher’s Book

by Sy Barlowe

Lucy has loved this sticker book. She also uses it as a resource when identifying birds~ it’s much easier for her to use this one on her own.

One of our favorite Kevin Henkes books!

    • Thanks so much for the link, Julie! So excited to check out the resources! I’ve been surprised how even my 20 month old has gotten into it. He loves to spot birds and even tries to imitate writing in his journal like his sister.

  5. I like the list of resources you listed. Batman’s new obsession is birds, so we’ve got a nice big bird feeder in our backyard, which needs to be refilled with bird seed again.

  6. We hear kookaburras in our yard, and my daughter often asks about them. She also knows how to spot a magpie.

    I’ve never thought of going bird watching, but I think she’d enjoy it.

    Do you know if these books have many Australian birds featured?

    • I would LOVE to see a kookaburra one day! One can only dream. 🙂 Birdwatching has been so much fun for us all. I believe all of the books I featured mainly focused on North American birds, although the journals would work no matter where you are. When I searched Amazon, I did see many field guides available for Australia and New Zealand.

  8. Great ideas, and I’m pinning this! My girls are really into birds right now, and I want to get some of the books you suggest from the library. Thanks for sharing on Eco Kids!
